Little League International Divisions
Age determination calculator
Baseball is ages 7 to 16; Players 5- and 6-years of age who have completed two seasons of tee ball can “play up” for player development. See below for a breakdown of current divisions.
Ages overlap in several divisions of play. All players (7-16 yrs old) should attend evaluations so coaches can assess skill level. Players will be drafted in each Division (MP, Minor, Major and Senior).
Tee Ball
Often, a family’s first introduction to Little League® is in the Tee Ball program. Tee Ball is the entry level division for players, ages 4-6. The experience is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals while also being a key to growing a child’s love for the game.
Coach Pitch (CP)
Ages (5-8). 5 yr. old players must complete at least 2 seasons of Tee ball and have the option to “play up”. The goal of CP is to help young players transition from tee ball into a more advanced program where they'll start to refine their hitting, fielding, throwing, and strategic skills while also learning the rules of the game of baseball.
